Halloween is just a day away, and, let’s be honest, not all of us are totally prepared. (Yeah, it totally snuck up on me this year, as usual.) Thankfully, I do have a few decorations around the house (shoutout to my stepmom for helping me out there!), but I could still use a few more.

Of course, I refuse to pay full price for decorations that will only sit around my house for a couple of weeks each year, so buying Halloween decor before November 1 isn’t going to happen.

My solution: simple crafts.

Here are a few crafts that could be done quickly and easily. And most of these are fairly cheap, too!

Despite that I spent all of yesterday thinking it was Wednesday, and despite that I spent the entirety of that not-Wednesday fighting a killer headache, I’m feeling pretty happy today if for no other reason than today is Wednesday and I’m headache-free.

It’s fall, y’all! (Yep, I’ve been holding onto that one for a while.) And since I forgot to post some sort of “hello, fall” something on Sunday, well, you get it now.

I know most people probably hear fall and think of pumpkins. And, I mean, I do too. But I also think of butternut squash, sweet potatoes, candy corn, hearty soups and stews, chili and, believe it or not, apples (often covered in some sort of nut and/or melted candy).

Obviously, it’s all about the food.

Speaking of food, I’ve rounded up 40 delicious-looking recipes that I think will be perfect for fall. Some of these I’ve tried and loved (looking at you, Pumpkin Chili). Some of them are still on my to-do list (hello, Halloween Puppy Chow). Either way, you’re sure to find something you’ll love this season.
